Rock Pile Coordinates?

[AngleThis]

I'll be heading out of Newport Saturday morning for the Rock Pile. I've not fished there in my boat before so would appreciate some coordinates just in case it gets foggy.

I thought the ocean was closed for Salmon but saw a post from Pilar suggesting trying for salmon after hali. Can someone please clarify?

Thanks!

Thanks John. I sometimes pull these off of the websites too, but it seems right when I get it all memorised, something changes. So instead, I just ask around when the time comes.

See ya on the pile!

Is Garabaldi South or North of Cape Falcon? How about the Rock Pile?

[corrirod]

Bugle, both are south of Cape Falcon. Falcon is roughly 16 miles north of Garibaldi.

[Mr. Fisherman]

Just follow the fleet. Leave good and early and follow a charter. Mark the channel on your way out. Mark the buoy as you pass and enjoy.

I'm told you could use a bucket and a rope to twain yer self back to the dock.

I wish you luck....
